Chapter 678: Cameo Lady
The current Charlize is actually using the identity of the Oscar-winning actress to launch an impact on the identity of a super-first-line actress.
Actresses of such status, in the 90s of the 20th century, the entire Hollywood counted two-
Jodie Foster and Julia Roberts.
Among them, the former is proud of all Hollywood actresses of the same age as an Oscar-winning actress, although her commercial appeal is average, but with the help of Charlotte, she has played the heroine of "Hell Detective", but it is not bad;
Julia Roberts, on the other hand, was more successful in business.
Although she rarely starred in super-big productions, she starred in a series of highly successful commercial films with a female perspective as the main body, leading the revival of "chick movies".
By 2000, she was already the most senior Hollywood star, the only woman in the "20 million pay club......
Whether it's Jodie Foster or Julia Roberts, it's arguably Charlize what he's trying to do right now.
And to reach that level, the first starring movie after becoming a movie queen is crucial.
Whether it is an art film or a commercial film, as long as it can achieve success that meets the corresponding standards, Charlize will be completely stabilized after becoming a queen, then she wants to hit the super-first-line status, which is a matter of one or two movies.
However, if it fails, Charlize's current position will fall again.
Although it will not fall out of the first line, the journey of hitting the super line will suddenly become long and indefinite.
- Hollywood is such a cruel place where heroes are judged only by success or failure.
Therefore, becoming an actress, Charlize is much stricter when choosing films, not only to look at the script, but also to see the strength and fame of the director, producer and even other leading actors, which is also the scope of her investigation.
In this way, the possibility of selecting a suitable film project will naturally become lower.
As a result, throughout 2000, Charlize did not play any more significant roles in any films.
Of course, this does not mean that the South African girl has nothing to do this year.
Not to mention Oscar's busy public relations activities before, getting married and having children also took up a lot of her time.
What's more, after getting married, she also spent a lot of time with her daughter Ovilia and her husband Charlotte.
In her career, although she did not accept any important film contracts, she spent a lot of time inspecting the crew.
- I just didn't get a satisfactory answer.
At the same time, in order to avoid forgetting for the audience, she has also made cameo appearances in many movies -
Charlotte's "Sherlock Holmes" aside, Charlize has also made cameo appearances in several other friends' films.
Even in the field of TV dramas, she also intervened.
- That's the new drama "Evil Force" that Ghost Party Studios launched at the end of the year to succeed "Death Note".
Although countless people from the audience to the TV station hope that "Death Note" can continue to shoot the next season, and even in order to intimidate the producers, many fans of the show directly mail "Death Note" to the Ghost Party studio.
- Compared with conventional bullets and blades, this specialty can be regarded as a feature of the crew of "Death Note".
But even so, because Charlotte's decision was very clear, "Death Note" ended on time.
In order to avoid being chased by fans, Mr. Westwood really used the excuse that Charlotte jokingly told him -
"The killer is real, we can't continue to shoot stories about him, we don't want to die of heart palsy!"
- Although people with a little brain, you can see that this is the producer who is getting cheap and good. But the problem is that the brain is a good thing, and many people in this world don't have it.
Especially among some of the avid fans.
In addition, because of Charlotte's fighting with Jack the Ripper, a series of serial killers surrendered and died caused by "Sherlock Holmes", and many people really believe in Mr. Westwood's evil.
- Thus, a fanatical fan group called "Worship Killer Sect" was born.
"Death Note" is obviously over, but its popularity has increased instead of decreasing, not only all kinds of audio and video products are selling well, but even the black notebooks around it are also sold to many stationery manufacturers unusually sour.
-- Everyone wrote the names of the people they hated in black notebooks, and as a result, the crime rate of shootings and other incidents in the United States in 2000 dropped by a cut.
- This is also a bonus!
As for how much extra mana Charlotte gained because of the obsession of "Death Note" fans, it is another matter.
In short, Ghost Studios' Death Note was over in the third quarter of 2000.
According to Charlotte's previous agreement with Mr. Westwood, "Prison Break" should be released as the next major series of the Ghost Party Studios.
But the problem is that the structure of "Prison Break" is relatively complicated, and Charlotte was busy filming "Pirates of the Caribbean" and did not shoot it herself, so Mr. Westwood needed more time to prepare.
— or when Charlotte finds time to direct the opening episodes herself.
As for the other planned drama "The Vampire Diaries", although because of the end of "Death Note", the two male protagonists are already ready-made, but this series needs more actors, especially the important heroine has not yet been selected, so it is also in preparation.
In this case, considering factors such as performance, and also in order not to idle his crew, Mr. Westwood advanced the series "Evil Force".
- Anyway, according to the script, this series is a series with a relatively simple structure, except for the two male leads, most of the characters can be found before each episode is filmed, which is very suitable for maintaining the current TV series team of Ghost Party Studios.
In addition, Mr. Westwood has already negotiated with Warner's B TV station through Charlotte before......
In short, "The Power of Evil" was successfully produced by Mr. Westwood in the fourth quarter of 2000.
And at his request, Charlize made a cameo role in it-
The Winchester brothers' mother who hung up at the beginning.
This cameo was very interesting for Charlize, because the footage related to her was actually filmed in the Winchester Mystery House.
This would not have been a problem.
But after Charlotte connected the Winchester Mystery House with their villas in Beverly Hills and Santa Monica Beach, there really was something "mysterious" about it......
Anyway, although the filming of "Evil Force" here went well, during the filming, the members of the crew were nervous by the endless strange phenomena.
Of course, this is all a prank played by the housekeeper of the house, the Irish leprechauns, led by the spirited Ovillia.
But Charlize, who has been with Charlotte for a long time and has been contaminated with men's bad hobbies, will not solve the problem for them......
